well, it all started good:
you know. of all the six classes i'm taking this semester, i never imagined myself doing well in advanced english grammar. i mean, i often have troubles remembering what a noun or verb is. now look at me: i can break down sentences into little itty bitty parts and label them all! (well, most, at least.) if i squint when i write, i can pretend it's a real mathematical equation i'm solving with such ease. heh. that'd be the day.
oh well. i got a hundred! i never make a hundred on quizzes or tests. in fact, i once managed to get a three (3!) out of a hundred on a physics test in high school. the three points were for the following question: "Compose your own question and answer it!" ... luckily i've forgotten what inane question i invented, and apparently answered correctly. though it would have probably been more punk to miss my own question as well. heh.
speaking of.. eh, no, actually i can't find even a remotely okay vague segue to lead into the next paragraph. anyway. tuesday i expressed a lame little outcry of 'boo, no, stay!' to talky-pants. he said: 'i can't, but you can always break your computer to force me up here again.'
so, naturally my computer was the first and only to break down today. yes, i did do my best to convince my boss that we didn't need to call for help, i'd get it to work somehow, but he ignored me. doom. if you hear a whispy sound nearby, it's probably the sound of my embarrassed pride vacating the premises.
all because i had the bright idea to disconnect and remove the color printer from my computer because it's never working anyways. suddenly quark xpress wouldn't fire up. quark is sort of necessary when you work at a newspaper that will go into production next week. feh.
oh well. now i have more space to dump my textbooks and slivers of papers and purse in. mmm, space! although i've successfully convinced my boss that i deserve to have one of our table scanners installed here instead. all this re-arranging business made me a bit re-arrangement nutty. suddenly i demanded to get to spend some office money on office supplies. i filled the office depot and staple's catalogues with yellow slips of paper marking pretty flat shelves and filing trays.
and then my enthusiasm spilled over.
now i'm trying to convince the staff that we really need to re-arrange the furniture in this office. in my head, bookshelves and ugly desks move about effortlessly in search of the perfect way to utilize the space. no one else is into it. lonely is the life of an overly enthusiastic person. i mean, hell, i even offered to operate the power drill if necessary!
boo. i'll go calm down now. cin cin, mon amis!�� 8:09 p.m.
